WEEK 2 SEC DEFENSIVE PLAYER OF THE WEEK: Nick Bolton, LB, Missouri,...Led a huge defensive effort that saw the Tigers pitch a shutout until the final five minutes of the game, as part of Mizzou's dominant 38-7 win over West Virginia Saturday...Made a gam e-high 10 tackles (three tackles for loss - both film-adjusted) and added a pair of interceptions (the first two of his career) on the day, including one that he returned 20 yards for his first career touchdown in the third quarter...Bolton became the fi rst Tiger linebacker with a pair of interceptions in a game since 2015, when All-American Kentrell Brothers had two picks against Arkansas State.

He was also the first Tiger since former All-American LB Sean Weatherspoon (2008 vs. Illinois) to reco rd two interceptions in a game, with at least one being returned for a score...Mizzou's defense held WVU to only 30 yards rushing on the day (with 32 yards coming in their final two drives against Tiger reserves) - that's the fewest allowed to a Power 5 opponent since 2007, when Mizzou held Texas Tech to minus-nine yards rushing in a 41-10 win...Mizzou allowed only 171 yards of offense to the Mountaineers - the fewest by any FBS opponent in the Barry Odom era, and the fewest overall by an FBS team again st Mizzou since 2013, when the Tigers limited Florida to just 151 yards of total offense in a 36-17 win. - SEC Football

Kelly Bryant threw three touchdown passes, Missouri held rebuilding West Virginia to 171 yards of total offense, and the Tigers rolled to a 38-7 victory in their home opener on Saturday. More importantly, they bounced back from last week's stunning loss at Wyoming. Bryant finished with 150 yards passing but played less than three quarters, heading to the locker room after becoming overheated. But with the game out of reach, it didn't really matter.

Albert Okwuegbunam had two touchdown grabs. Larry Rountree added 99 yards and a score on the ground. Nick Bolton had a pair of interceptions and returned the second for a fourth-quarter touchdown that only emphasized a dominant performance on the defensive side of the ball. After allowing the Cowboys t o run for 297 yards in a 37-31 loss, the Tigers (1-1) limited the Mountaineers (1-1) to 30 yards rushing. Transfer quarterback Austin Kendall was just 15 of 25 for 137 yards, most of that coming on a late touchdown throw, and also had a pair of intercept ions. Okwuegbunam capped a 72-yard drive with his first touchdown reception to make it 10-0 late in the first quarter. Rountree scored from 10 yards out after a 59-yard march early in the second, then Okwuegbunam grabbed his second TD catch later in the quarter. And when Bryant found Barrett Banister in the final seconds of the first half, the Tigers had a 31-0 lead at the break. - AP College Football

Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said after Thursday's practice that he loves former Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant. But that doesn't mean the current Missouri QB is going to get a ring for his part in the Tigers' 2018 national championship. Bryant started t he first four games of the season for Clemson in 2018 before losing his starting job to Trevor Lawrence. The freshman Lawrence started the final 11 games, leading the Tigers to their second national title in three years.

"There's nothing else to co mment on. What do you want me to say?" Swinney said after Thursday's workout. "I mean, he wasn't on the team. It's as simple as that. We played 11 games after he left. We played 15 games." Bryant completed 36 of 54 passes in 2018, throwing for 461 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. He also rushed for 130 yards and two scores while splitting time with Lawrence the first four weeks of the year. - The State
